Re: Random NIL thoughts
If our NIL fund is truly competitive with the top of our league, then Archie should be able to attract comparable talent. Right now we do not have that. Comparable talent that is We are not currently getting the bang for the buck or so it seems. SLU and Loyola have far surpassed us with their new si...

Re: A10 Outlook for 2024-25
We are going to be about a .500 team in conference and maybe slightly above that overall.
As of now, my take anyway.
Again, not good enough.
I still hope we get another impact transfer which could improve that prediction.

Re: A10 Outlook for 2024-25
Loyola and SLU look like the class of the A10 as it stands right now, along with Dayton and VCU of course.
URI? Without any more new impact transfers mid pack.
Best guess anyway.
Am I happy with this?

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
This signing does not move the needle for me at all.
If this is the best we can afford then we are truly screwed.
Of course it might not be all about money. Could be Archie just can't close the deal for better players.
Either way, not good.
